“Hopefully this person got a conscience because this man is fighting for his life,” said Bridgit Thigpen.

It’s a desperate plea for answers here in Madisonville for the driver behind the wheel in this hit and run to come forward.

Chilling video just released by Cincinnati police shows the moment the driver of a dark vehicle hit Young and then took off.

“It sounds almost like they ran into the wall, you know what I'm saying? But I guess that's how hard they slammed him,” said Sandra Walker of Madisonville. She lives just around the corner from where the crash happened.

Young’s fiancé had stopped at Family Dollar to pick up some things for dinner when she found him face down on the pavement.

“That's how far it threw him. That's his blood right here. You see that?” said Thigpen.
